The AntIers of Elk and Deer.

Every hunter among the mountains of the
Olympic range where elk abounds knows that
the elk sheds its horns,' as they are COM
monty called, every year; that the new ant
lers grow rapidly, and are at first covered
with skin, Oh which is a soft growth Of fur
called velvet. While they are in their first
growth, and before the velvet is rubbed off,
the antlers are filed with blood vessels, and
are considered by old hunters as excellent eat
ing. My old friend, Peter Fischer, of Quill
cute, Clalam county, formerly a mighty
hunter of elk, has often assured me that elk
horns in the velvet are just like marrow.
Other famous and successful elk hunters Of
Dungeness, such as Weir, Sutherland, Merrill,
Sol Thompson and a score more, have assured
me Of the same fact. Gradually the antlers
harden, commencing at the base, and when
sufficiently 1natured the velvet is rubbed off
by the animal, and the antlers, at first white,
soon change to the rich brown to which every
one is familiar who has seen pair Of elk
horns. These antlers are seldom dropped at
the same time The animal may knock off
one among brush and then move away to an
other place and cast the other These soon
get buried among the vegetation where they
have fallen and in short time disappear.
As they are considered of little value it is but
seldom hunter will take the trouble to bring
one out of the woods when they may by
chance be observed-Cor. Portland Ore

who apply to them to be aided in making

gentlemen, believing that that course viii

man once well known in Wall street came in

Value of Rest and Recreation.

In his paper on REST and Repair in
London Life" in The Fortnightly Re-
view, DIR. Robson Roose-referring to tho
subject Of an annual holiday--says thcro
can be no doubt as TO the advantages of
this means Of rest and recreation. Where
20 spend holiday and now best to enjoy
il are topics which should lrequently en-
gage the thoughts Of a man who is work
ing at high pressure. The idea of holi-
day, even if the realization be somewhat
distant, lessons present discomforts, and
the carrying out of "a well-deviscd plan
enhances the enjoyment when the time
arrives. The number of ways IN which
holiday may be profitably spent is al
most infinite. Something definite should
be aimed at and done during each holi-
day; an active-minded man must have
occupation of some kind even in his
hours of recreation. A change of work
is, indeed, form of rest, and happily
there is no lack of subjects for every va
ricty of mind. BY such means as these
mind and body are alike renewed and in
vigorated. Chicago News.

HOW THE MALAKoFF WAS TAKEN.
Diplomatic Spying-The Story of q Dis
patch That Brought $4,000.

Diplomatic espionage rendered great ser
vice to the Second Empire in 1855 by en-
abling the French to get into Sebastopol The
credit for tho fall of that stronghold was
due, it has just transpired, TO the late II. de
Moustier, who was i'll the year above men
toned at the head of the French embassy at
Berlin. At that time Col. Won Munster was
military attacEe Of Prussia at st. Petersburg,
and in high favor at court The wife of the
Car Nicholas was princess of Prussia, and
was fondly attached to her native land. All
the representatives of her brother were treat
cd by her with a kindness verging on farnil-
iarity. The councils of war, when the siege
of Sebastopol was going on, used to be held
in her sitting room. Col. Won Munster was
given the minutes of them. No detail of the
campaign which the military authorities at
st. Petersburg could give him was withheld.
He sent confidential reports of the informa-
ton SO obtained to Berlin for the kings solo
perusal.
Frederick William kept them q secret from
every one but Gerlach--a kind of seer belong
ing to the feudal party, who regarded Man.
teuffel as an apostate because he advised the
king to keep on good terms with Napoleon
Ill, and who discovered, when Queen Vic
toria went On visit to st. Cloud, that she
was the scarlet lady of the Apocalypse. Man
teuifel was furiously jealous of the royal
favor in which Gerlach stood, and took means
to intercept the Munster correspondence so
as to read it and have it copied In one of
these letters there was a dispatch from Todle-
ben informing the czar of the weakness of the
Malakoff, which could not hold out against
a strong assault.
Now, Manteuffels copying clerk was in the
pay of De Moustier, and, when they were
thinking at the TuileIies of ordering the siege
of Sebastopol to be raised, copy of Todle-
ben's dispatch was sold to the French en-
bassy for 1900 francs Orders were sent to
Peiissier to attack the Malakoff. He, not
wanting to be pestered by his incompetent
emperor and the gang about him with mill
tary instructions, ordered the telegraph wires
to be cut. Marshal Valiant was then packed
OFF to the Crimea with the secret paper in his
pocket 1t was revelation to Pelissier, and
all that remained was to get the English to
attack the Redan while the French were try
ing TO storm the Malakoff. The general won
ducal title, q big grant of money and pen
sion, and became such an important person
age that the empress gave to him the hand of
her beautiful cousin, who was presented by
her imperial majesty with suitable dowry
and trousseau of regal magniicence- Paris

Engineer Jack Ellis, of Williansport, Pa,
has very large and wise crow. He is two
feet long from the tip of his beak to the tip of
his tail feathers, and is scientific thief. A
shepherd dog, chained to kennel in the yard,
is one of the worst victims, Whenever he
sees the dog gnawing a bone, he sneaBs up be-
hind him and grabs him by the tail; the
sudden attack causes the dog to quickly
wheel about to find out what's there, but the
crow holds on, and goes around with the
tail to where the coveted bone is, snatches it
up, and in an instant is out of the reach of
the angry animal.-New York Sun.

Concerning Thunder and Lightning.

Meteorologists have found that there
can be no thunder and lightning without
rain. When thunder is heard beneath "a
clear sky, the reports must either come
from distant clouds or be the result Of
some other cause than a discharge of
electricity. Harvest or heat lightning is
produced by distant storm. Thunder
seldom accompanies heat lightning, tho
sound reaching only about twelve miles,
while lightning is often seen, by rcfec-
ton upon nearer clouds, at a much
greater distance. Chicago Times.

The Persian seldom buys his jewelry ready
made; he orders it. When the various pieces
have been cast or cut out from the metal sup
piled by the customer, they are brought to
him for inspection and carefully weighed.
Then the article is put together, either in the
customers own house and under his eye or
under the supervision of his servant. Then
it is again weighed, then chased and finished,
the filings and waste being collected and
credited to the customer.-Chicago Tribune.

There are in Dundee, Scotland, eight
companies dealing in mortgages and
cattle in the western and northwestern
states. In Edinburgh there are eleven,
and in Glasgow three. The land and
cattle companies in the United Kingdom
operating in the United States hold in
fee simple 2,016, 1888 acres, and by lease
LAS, 796 acres. Their dividends in 1888
averaged over s per cent, but fell to
only little over per cent in 1885. The
causes of this decline are found in the
rapid growth of capital in the United
States and the gradual decline in the
rate of interest which has occurred all

some Unfortunate Explorers Who Vent

A terrified English nlatron insisted upon

lying fla. in tie boat to avoid complete inn
nersion while being carried into the opening
at the base Of the lofty bluff is not most
ellviable one, and confess cur moments Of
delight were not enhanced by our Jealous

with the most sanctimonIous Of expressions,
related how many hundreds had been de-
tained in the Grotto for venturing therein

the grotto four days and lived only on q
bottle of rum he had fortunately carried in
his pocket. We were minus rum but full OF
enthusiasm. We waited breathlessly for the
moment to be launched into the grotto. With
both hands against the mouth of the rock the
CapTiote boatinan watched his opportunity,
and with a tremendous wave we were carried
into the spacious grOtto, which is 53 meters i'll

tie level of the sea, the depth of water being
about 21 meters. The effect is dazzling.
Every object it contained was bathed in an
